If you're traveling with your family or in a group, and want to relax in a place that's just like home, you can do no better than Mimaru Tokyo Ueno East. This Ueno hotel's guestrooms are all larger than 40m2 (about 430 square feet) and their main offerings are rooms that can take up to four people.

Mimaru Tokyo Ueno East also offers connecting rooms that allow for larger groups - up to eight! - as well as baby beds and child-sized slippers. Standard amenities like toothbrushes are also available, so their rooms are highly regarded among large family and family/friend groups.

As of April 2019, they've become the number one hotel for the "Child-friendly Hotels for Travelers" segment in a Miki House's research about lodging facilities that give foreign families with children who are visiting Japan the most peace of mind.

The interior design is distinctly Japanese, and each room comes with a fully furnished kitchen and dining space as well. Services provided by the Ueno hotel include the rental of Japanese home appliances as well as paid laundry in the common area on the first floor.

Staff can speak English, and essential information about maps, hospitals, and transportation are available in a few other languages as well. The front desk changes its design according to the season. This Ueno hotel is also known for giving out small gifts that are uniquely Japanese to guests, giving them a little taste of that well-known Japanese hospitality.

Location-wise, the Ueno hotel is situated just a three-minute walk away from Ueno Station on the JR Line, and popular tourist hot spots, restaurants, and shopping areas nearby are within walking distance as well. The mindful services and excellent facilities it provides for foreign families are certainly the hotel's most attractive points. Don't just take our word for it, of course. Try and see for yourself!

This isn't your standard capsule or regular hotel by the MYSTAYS Hotel Group. It is a completely new type of lodging facility known as the "Cube Room". The focus is on sleep comfort, and the rooms were designed with privacy in mind. The hotel is popular for its ease of use for all guests, including women and those who have never stepped foot into a capsule hotel before.

The building is protected by a system that allows only those with issued keys to use the elevators to reach the rooms. Each floor is either male or female-only and careful planning ensured that room doors do not overlap directly with the one on the opposite side.

For the safety-conscious, there are safeboxes available for use, and a locked storage space under the bed big enough for large suitcases. Each cube is furnished with a TV, power outlet, USB charging port, and foldable table. The room itself is pleasantly spacious.

Next to the front desk is a large bar-lounge for guests to relax in. This space also gives guests a chance to chat with fellow cubers while enjoying an alcoholic beverage or two. The free wifi can be accessed from all corners of the hotel.

From the front desk to cube rooms and wet areas like the kitchen and shower spaces, the hotel is kept very clean and comfortable while maintaining everyone's privacy. Breakfast (only for guests who booked a room that includes this meal) has the theme of "food that is soothing to the body and soul" and different fresh fruits are on offer every day. Whether you're a capsule hotel regular or someone who's never stayed in a capsule-type hotel before, this place will make you rethink your expectations about them for sure!

The official website is available in five languages - Japanese, English, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Online reservations can be made in the languages mentioned above around the clock through online chat, email, or telephone. Rest assured too, that staff at the front desk will be able to speak a few languages as well.

So, what do you think? Hotels in Ueno and Asakusa may be located a stone's throw away from the metropolitan area, but are equally convenient for tourists and business people alike. We're confident you can find accommodation here that will appeal to you and enhance your stay in Tokyo.
